NOTES. — Although Pithecellobium laetum Benth. is based on Poeppig’s manuscript and on the same type as Inga laeta Poepp. , the latter was described independently, as a new species (see annotation by Ernst Vitek dated 2007 on the holotype of I. laeta, E.F. Poeppig 2367 [W[W0013462]). Poeppig is the sole author of the vol. 3 of Nova Genera ac species plantarum (Stafleu & Cowan, 1983: TL-2-8091).
